Live like a hispanic person,

make your bread, tortillas, rice, beans, chicken thighs, as staples, I eat pears since they have a similar consistency to apples but cheaper, bananas cheaper than that.

If you want a filling soup
>pressure cooker ($5-20 in goodwill, but eventually youll want to upgrade- trust- especially this model if you can scrounge around)
>wash beans, don't need to soak, but better if you do
>add culantro, (not cilantro) garlic, onions must be cut finely
once soup is done
>pork lard (or bacon)
>chorizos (I buy the 3 for goya pack) cut them up
>cook more onions, cut up green peppers, chorizos, mix into the pork lard
>once onions are clear, add bean soup
>cook to boiling
>once ready to eat, crack two eggs right into the soup and however long you want for it to be as firm or runny as you want

>serve in a bowl, salt to taste, or add queso crema centroamericana(don't buy cream cheese, don't, go into the hispanic section of cheeses- they will have it) and white, crumbly cheese - honduran for more salt, maybe colombiano if you prefer it soft

eat with rice, makes a weeks worth of meals, make rice again after 3-4 days for better flavoring from the soup, itll be too dry in the fridge


I've been making sourdough bread for $2.47/lb which is half the price of the higher quality breads from the stores or 0.30-0.60 cents cheaper than the basic store brand bread (not the super cheat white bread) and is SIGNIFICANTLY tastier than the store brand bread.
